RSF COMMUNITY CENTER'S ‘GALA 2017’

The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center held its “Gala 2017” at the Del Mar Country Club May 20. This year's gala theme was "The Love Boat!" The event featured a cocktail reception, hosted bar, three-course gourmet dinner, live music, dancing, live and silent auctions and "cruising entertainment." Proceeds raised through the event benefit the Community Center’s after-school classes, youth sports programs, scholarships, enrichment classes and special community projects.

BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) are looking at double-digit increases in their water bills next year, based on a proposed spending plan that will be considered for adoption by the district’s board of directors in June. The rate hike, which is planned for Jan. 1, 2018, will total between 11 and 13 percent, said Jeanne Deaver, the district’s administrative service manager. This includes a 9 percent rate hike imposed by the district, plus a “pass-through” of between 2 and 4 percent based on expected rate increases by the district’s wholesale water supplier, the San Diego County Water Authority. The district’s financial outlook is much improved for the upcoming budget year, which runs from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 Deaver told the board at its meeting on Thursday, May 18. That’s due to a number of factors, including a rainy winter that filled the reservoir at Lake Hodges, which provides cheaper local water; an increase in customer demand due to the end of drought-related water-use restrictions; and two recent 9 percent rate hikes, imposed in June and January. The district plans to use additional revenue in the coming year to build up reserves that were depleted due to financial hits the district took during the five-year California drought, Deaver said. Those reserves are earmarked for such expenses as capital improvements and rate stabilization, which helps the district keep rates down when revenues are reduced. “Now we need to replenish what we’ve taken. This is the year we start to do that,” Deaver said. SEE WATER, A18

BY KAREN BILLING The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe has recently become a member of the Tribute Portfolio brand of Marriott International. The change was announced on May 1 and made The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe the third California hotel in the Tribute Portfolio. The Inn General Manager Jerome Strack said The Inn is thrilled to join the Tribute Portfolio and sees “tremendous value” in the opportunity to introduce Rancho Santa Fe to Marriott International’s guests without compromising the history of the hotel. “The hotel can join that brand without having to change anything,” said Strack, noting they will not have to become a Sheraton or Marriott.

“You keep your own identity.” “We’re the heart of the community, we’ve always been and we always will be,” Strack asserted. “That’s not going to change.” Owners in the portfolio can maintain their hotel’s individuality while gaining access to the global operator’s sales and marketing and the Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) loyalty program — SPG guests can now earn points or redeem points staying at The Inn. “With its independent spirit and vibrant social spaces, the hotel was a natural choice for Tribute Portfolio, and we look forward to bringing the brand’s core values of imagination, community and spontaneity to life amid the rich history of this SEE INN, A18

center of our village and is the perfect venue for all generations to gather outdoors to enjoy the beauty of our village, which is often too quiet during the summer months, while the beaches are often too crowded.” Thrive in the Ranch aims to support vibrancy in the historic village of Rancho Santa Fe through community events, such as its summer series, that serve all generations.

RSF golfer tops strong field at West Coast Juniors

Jackson Rivera with his winning trophy.

Rancho Santa Fe golfer Jackson Rivera, 14, won the Golfweek West Coast Junior Invitational, held May 20-21 at Mesa Country Club in Mesa, Ariz. Jackson, an eighth grader at The Nativity School who has already committed to the University of Southern California, posted rounds of 67-66 — 133 to claim a seven-shot victory only several weeks after earning medalist honors at the World Junior Golf qualifier in La Costa. According to Golfweek, Jackson recorded birdies on seven of the 10 par-five holes over two days and notched seven other birdies along the way. His victory was wire-to-wire as he birdied the opening hole of the tournament and played the first 10 holes

in five under to surge ahead of the field. He carried a four-shot lead into the final round. Jackson defeated a strong field of older, ranked players in winning the Invitational. “I always play aggressive; I don’t like to play safe,” Jackson told Golfweek. “If anything, I was probably more conservative at this event than I usually am. I could reach all the par 5s in two, so I just needed to putt from off the green a lot and hit chip shots close. That’s what I did, and I was able to make a lot of putts.” Jackson is currently ranked number 182 in the Golfweek/Sagarin junior ranking and is the top-ranked golfer in his graduating class of 2021.

Clarification In last week’s Review, we reported on the procedures that the RSF Association will have to follow if the election is invalid due to a lack of ballots returned. The Association clarified that if the election fails, they will have to hold one or more additional elections prior to next spring until a quorum is achieved and two candidates are elected. The directors whose terms will have ended on June 30, 2017, will remain in those seats until the new election is complete and valid. If a director in an expired term resigns, then the board will attempt to appoint another director to serve until two directors are validly elected.

Tiny hearts fuel local doctor's huge compassion BY JOE TASH Dr. Paul Grossfeld focuses much of his time and energy in caring for the tiniest of patients babies with congenital heart defects. Grossfeld, a Carmel Valley resident, wears two hats -- he’s a pediatric cardiologist at Rady Children’s Hospital, and a professor at UC San Diego Medical School, where he teaches and oversees a research laboratory. An annual fundraiser - called “Little Hearts Big Hopes” - was held Sunday, May 21, at the home of Linda and Jeff Church in Rancho Santa Fe with the goal of raising about $250,000, enough money to keep Grossfeld’s research going for the next year. (See page A12 for photos of the event.) Grossfeld’s lab at UCSD studies the genetic causes of congenital heart defects, to improve patient care and potentially prevent the conditions from developing. He oversees the work of two research scientists. One area that Grossfeld is most interested in is a disease called Jacobsen syndrome, which is caused when part of the 11th chromosome is missing. Children born with the syndrome may suffer from intellectual disability, autism and a heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In patients with the heart syndrome, Grossfeld said, the left side of the heart does not develop properly, meaning it cannot adequately pump blood throughout the body. Patients either need a heart transplant, or a complex three-stage process to restructure the heart. While Grossfeld said his lab, which collaborates with a number of other research institutions, receives some grant funding, the annual fundraising effort is crucial. “Philanthropy is large component of support for this kind of research,” he said. For their part, the Church family, which has hosted the fundraiser for the past several years, doesn’t have a personal connection to someone with congenital heart defect. But they wholeheartedly support Grossfeld and his work, said Linda Church. Her family co-owns Suja, a San Diego-based juice company whose products are found in stores around the nation. “I believe in research, and certainly medical research. He’s finding so much valuable information for so many different issues,” which relate not just to heart issues, but to such disorders as Alzheimer’s disease and autism. “It helps humanity in general. That’s why we

support it.” Over the years, Grossfeld has found support from Hollywood as well as Rancho Santa Fe. Last year, the fundraising event was held at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles and, in previous years, at the set of the hit television sitcom “How I Met Your Mother,” Grossfeld said. Grossfeld met the show’s co-creator, Craig Thomas, after Thomas’ son was diagnosed with Jacobsen syndrome. At this year’s fundraiser at the Church home, one of the featured attractions was a performance by Ethan Bortnick, a pianist and musical prodigy who has already won wide renown despite his young age of 15. Ethan’s younger brother, Nathan, was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, said Grossfeld. Among Grossfeld’s own philanthropic work is a series of missions to a children’s hospital in Siem Reap, Cambodia, organized by his wife, Susan, which have provided heart surgeries to 150 young patients over the past decade. Research into congenital heart defects is making progress, Grossfeld said. Just within the past year, colleagues at Georgia Tech have isolated a gene in frogs, which, when deactivated, causes hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The discovery may lead to interventions which can prevent the defect from occurring, he said. “The importance of that, if we’re right, will be huge for this field.” And with cuts proposed to the National Institutes of Health, which funds research grants, individual giving is needed to support vital research. “I hope that through the fundraiser and (media coverage) it will raise more awareness and support,” Grossfeld said. “We can’t do it without philanthropy, that’s the bottom line.” Church said she and her family began hosting Grossfeld’s annual fundraisers out of a desire to support his vital research. But the connections with Grossfeld and his colleagues proved invaluable when her own son was later diagnosed with a heart condition that caused a rapid heartbeat. “I think a lot of people feel if they’re not affected by a certain issue, it’s not important for them to give,” said Church. “But when you give, you are receiving so much more in return.” For more information, email Grossfeld at pgrossfeld@ucsd.edu or visit www.littleheartsbighopes.org.

Local pianist Anne Liu wins scholarship competition BY KAREN BILLING Young pianist Anne Liu, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy, won first place in the Helen B. Goodlin Scholarship Competition on May 13, earning the Chet and Jane Schmidt Award and a $2,000 scholarship. The Goodlin competition is one of the most prestigious music competitions open to kids and teens in the greater San Diego area. In January, Anne also won first place in the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus Young Artists Competition, taking home a $1,500 prize. “It’s tough to win these competitions and I was really excited when I was announced,” Anne said. Anne, 15, competed in the Goodlin Scholarship Competition in the senior keyboard division (ages 15-18) and was the youngest contestant in her age group, just like she was in 2014 when she won in the 12-14 age division at age 12. Anne started playing the piano at age 4. “My parents are both classical music lovers and they often played classical music in the house,” Anne said. “I told them that I really wanted to play like that.” Anne got more serious with her piano lessons by age 8. She has

In addition to playing music to express happiness or to release stress, Ann said she is also constantly practicing to keep up with her technique. While she is too busy to participate in CCA’s music program, she has founded the Chamber Music Club at school. The club brings together students

that play a variety of instruments — they learn pieces on their own with the goal to perform at civic centers or senior retirement homes. In March 2014, Anne made her solo debut in Carnegie Hall as a winner of the International Young Gifted Musicians Festival, followed by two solo recitals in December.

“The first time I was really nervous,” Anne said of performing at Carnegie Hall. “The second time I felt more experienced. Playing there was the accomplishment of my first dream.” In 2015 she took second at the Los Angeles International Young Musician Competition and, in 2016, she won second in the International Liszt Competition and took first in the 2016 South Coast Symphony Competition, earning her a $1,000 prize and the opportunity to perform with the South Coast Symphony in February this year. In August 2016, Anne performed her first solo concert in China. While she likes performing chamber music in groups, she enjoys the flexibility of performing on her own. Playing Carnegie Hall was her first dream to be ticked off her list and she has plenty of goals to work toward: She would like to attend Julliard School or Curtis Institute of Music, she would like to become a professional pianist and she would like to spread her love of music as far as she can. “There are a lot of places in the world that don’t have access to this kind of music,” Anne said. “I wish to travel to these places and play for them.”

‘Game of Thrones’ meets ‘Mars Trilogy’

Two great writers talk fantasy at UC San Diego event BY WILL BOWEN It would be hard to deny our flourishing fascination with all things fantastical if you were at UC San Diego’s Price Center West, May 2, when fantasy writer George R.R. Martin (affectionately know as “GRRM”) and sci-fi writer and UCSD alumni Kim Stanley Robinson spoke to a sold-out audience of some 1,000 fans. The event was a madhouse. The line to get in wrapped around the building and people came early vying for the best seats. Tickets were $20 a piece and sold out immediately. The proceeds will be used to support the Clarion Science Fiction Writers Workshop, held every summer on campus. Martin, a fantasy novelist, short story writer, screenwriter and television producer, may be best-known for his epic novels in the series “A Song of Ice and Fire,” which were adapted to become HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Now in its fourth year, “Game of Thrones” has become the television show with the most nominations in Emmy history. In 2016, it won for Best Drama, Best Dramatic Writing, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor, along with 12 other technical Emmys, for things like lighting and sound production. Martin was joined on stage by Robinson, who is best-known for his “Mars Trilogy,” a collection of books about what colonization and life on the red planet might be like for the human species. The trilogy is a metaphor for three possible futures the State of California could experience. The evening began with Professor Sheldon Brown, head of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Imagination on campus, introducing the festivities. Brown got a rousing round of applause with lots of whoops and hollers. He dealt with the adulation by jokingly remarking, “This is the welcome I usually get in all my classes!” He went on to say that the Clarke Center is interested in creativity and imagination — two skills well developed in science fiction and fantasy writing, which are based on the creation of imaginary worlds.

character out of Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.” Robinson, wearing khaki pants, a striped buttoned-up white shirt and a corduroy jacket, was also sporting his brown hiking shoes that still had a little mud on them from the Sierra Nevada, his favorite haunt and the inspiration for the setting of “Mars Trilogy.” Their discussion revolved around the astonishing turn of events wherein fantasy and science-fiction writing were transformed from a minor stigmatized “ghetto” genre of literature (thought mostly for kids), into a major, widely accepted and respected form of literature appreciated by many. Martin explained that the flip could be traced to a review by the great writer Henry James, who compared Robert Lewis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” with another FARSHID BAZMANDEGAN George R.R. Martin not-so-well-known coming-of-age book about a youth growing up in France, the name of which Martin could not Martin and Robinson were interviewed by Professor Shelley remember.

University, where he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Martin pointed to the similarities between sci-fi and degrees. Martin spent most of the 1980s writing for fantasy, calling them “two flavors of the same thing.” Hollywood and in 1991, began writing his magnum opus “A Robinson added that humans are deeply steeped in fantasy Song of Fire and Ice.” He has accumulated many honors, because every night when we dream, our mind creates three including several Hugo Awards. or four scenarios that are “fantasy-like.” He said his teacher Streeby said that Robinson graduated with a Ph.D. in at UCSD, the politically-oriented literary critic, Fredrick Literature from UCSD. He is also a Clarion Graduate and Jameson, once observed: “It is clear to me that fantasy is helped bring the writing workshop to campus from the East about pre-capitalist society and science fiction is a reflection Coast. of capitalistic society” — the two forms of writing mirror our When Martin and Robinson came to the stage, they political and economic development. received a massively positive reception from the audience.

RSF's Jayden Gillespie named Reno Medina selected as new 2017 U.S. Presidential Scholar principal of Earl Warren Middle School U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos recently announced the selection of RSF resident and Canyon Crest Academy student Jayden Gillespie as a 2017 U.S. Presidential Scholar. Gillespie is one of 161 outstanding American high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, artistic excellence, leadership, citizenship, service, and contribution to school and community. The U.S. Presidential Scholars will be honored for their accomplishments in Washington D.C., from June 18-20. “I congratulate this year’s class of Presidential Scholars for their devotion to academic excellence and their parents and teachers who have guided them along the way,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “Today’s Presidential Scholars are

tomorrow’s leaders, and I am confident they will continue to be shining examples as they enter the next phase of their academic careers.” The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars selects honored scholars annually based on their academic success, artistic excellence, essays, school evaluations and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service, leadership, and demonstrated commitment to high ideals. Since 1983, each U.S. Presidential Scholar has been offered the opportunity to name his or her most influential teacher. Each distinguished teacher is honored with a personal letter from the Secretary of Education. The teacher chosen for recognition by Gillespie was Tanner Kortman of Canyon Crest Academy.

Superintendent Eric Dill is recommending that the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) Board of Trustees appoint Reno Medina as the next principal of Earl Warren Middle School, according to a press release. Medina Reno is currently an assistant Medina principal at La Costa Canyon High School. Medina will replace Earl Warren Principal Adam Camacho who has been named the new principal of San Dieguito Academy starting July 1. Medina will be returning to Earl Warren Middle School in the fall, where he first served as the assistant principal. He was involved in the planning of the new school currently completing construction and helped transition the staff from the old campus to the temporary campus. He now gets to move them back. Medina’s familiarity “with the staff, parents and community of Earl Warren Middle School makes him an ideal choice for this well-deserved promotion,” the press release stated. His knowledge of special education will also be “of value to the specialized programs that are housed at the school,” the press

release reported. Medina began his teaching career at Pacific Beach Middle School in 1999. In 2004, Medina joined the San Dieguito district as a founding faculty member of Canyon Crest Academy. After two years of teaching high school, Medina became a District Program Specialist serving Canyon Crest Academy, Earl Warren Middle School, Carmel Valley Middle School, Diegueno Middle School, Oak Crest Middle School, and La Costa Canyon High School.

Break free from osteoporosis Local physician Heather Hofflich an advocate for bone health BY KAREN BILLING Local physician Heather Hofflich has become a strong voice for strong bones. An endocrinologist at UC San Diego Health Sciences, Hofflich specializes in the area of osteoporosis. She is the west coast ambassador for the National Osteoporosis Foundation and throughout May is raising awareness about bone health and the prevention of bone loss for National Osteoporosis Month. “Osteoporosis is a major health issue and it’s really important that people think about it,” Hofflich said, noting it affects about 54 million Americans, resulting in two million broken bones a year. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength, pre-disposing a person to increased risk of fracture. Bone strength is the integration of bone density and bone quality. While there is no cure, Hofflich is spreading the word that there are ways for people to “break free” from osteoporosis and build and maintain strong bones for life. As part of her outreach, she is appearing on Lifetime TV channel’s “Access Health” with Ereka Vetrini to discuss bone loss prevention. The segment will first air on Wednesday, June 21 at 7 a.m., followed by other airings. Hofflich, a Carmel Valley resident since 2008, has always been interested in the physiology and biology of bone. Bone health and loss encompasses so many different types of patients — seniors, women, patients with eating disorders, malabsorption, Chron’s disease or celiac disease and she is drawn to the mechanisms of why people have bone loss and the work of preventative care, diagnosis and treatment options. Hofflich is a fellow of the American College of Endocrinology and is a certified clinical densitometrist, a professional certification in the field of bone density. Osteoporosis is mostly a silent disease, producing no symptoms until the bone is so weakened it breaks. The most common fractures due to osteoporosis are to the wrist, spine and hips, and most patients had no idea they were at risk until that first break. “After the first fracture, the risk is five-fold of having another fracture. We want to prevent that,” said Hofflich, noting that as age is the biggest risk factor for osteoporosis, she recommends patients over 50 discuss having a bone density scan with their healthcare provider. Preventative steps for bone health, however, can and should be taken at any age. “We attain peak bone mass in our 30s and lose bone over our lifetimes,” Hofflich said. “The simple keys to fighting bone loss are getting enough calcium, Vitamin D and exercise.” For calcium, the goals vary by age group but patients over 50 should shoot for 1,200 milligrams a day. Hofflich said the source for calcium should be mostly from diet but people can supplement as needed. Some non-dairy calcium sources include kale, bok choy, beans and almonds.

Vitamin D is also an important component to prevention, Hofflich said and it is typically recommended to get 800 to 1,000 IU daily. Hofflich admits that Vitamin D can be difficult to get through diet and the other source, sunlight, can be frowned upon by dermatologists. Sardines, fish and cod liver oil are all sources of Vitamin D but if not willing to tolerate those tastes, a supplement can also be used for those who are Vitamin D deficient. For exercise, weight bearing exercises are important. “You need to be on your feet,” Hofflich said, encouraging activities such as walking, hiking, running, dancing, anything that gets your body moving. For National Osteoporosis Month, the foundation’s biggest effort was the Jumping Jack Challenge. Jumping jacks are good for building bone strength and density when you’re younger and to maintain bone strength as you age so the campaign encouraged people to post jumping jack videos to social media and challenge their friends. In San Diego, Hofflich continues her outreach efforts with her monthly Bone Health Education and Support group, which she started in 2009. The group has informative presentations by leading experts about the latest discoveries in prevention, nutrition, diagnosis and treatment. The group, held the first Wednesday of every month at noon at Thornton Hospital, is also an opportunity for people to share concerns, problems and coping strategies. While there are many similar groups throughout the country, the San Diego group is unique in that it is physician-run by Hofflich. “It’s been fantastic and it’s a great resource for the community,” Hofflich said. Check out the Jumping Jack Challenge and more at the National Osteoporosis Foundation’s website at nof.org. More tips and guidelines for all ages can be found at 4bonehealth.org.

With the retirement of San Dieguito Faculty Association (SDFA) teachers union president Bob Croft this June 30, after 37 years in the San Dieguito Union High School District, SDUHSD has an opportunity to embark in a new direction. Every year since 2010, Croft – whose salary is $125,797 – has not taught in the classroom. In addition, the district provides him with free office space to carry out his union duties. Torrie Norton, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of human resources, confirmed that Croft does not teach, is paid a full teachers’ salary, and is given free office space at Earl Warren Middle School. She said a substitute teacher has been hired each year since 2010 to teach Croft’s physical education classes. This arrangement was formalized in the 2010 certificated master contract which was approved by the board on April 15, 2010, she said. According to Norton, “Croft was gradually released from his regular teaching duties starting with the 2009-10 school year for the purposes of collaboration and employee/district problem solving and mutual interest resolution.” Said Norton in an email, “It is not a requirement, but has been the option agreed to in recent years. Every year it is mutually agreed upon between the superintendent and SDFA during the staffing process.” SDUHSD’s contract entitles the union president to this benefit as long as the district’s superintendent agrees to this arrangement. What if the superintendent and SDFA president don’t agree? “If it is not mutually agreed, then it is not implemented,” Norton said, which leaves the door open for a different sort of arrangement with the next union leader. Norton said it is “not uncommon” for

reimburse the district for 100 percent of the salary….” From the Poway Unified School District, the communications director wrote in an email that the teachers union president has office space outside the district and “is on full time release.” The district pays her salary, she said, “but then the union reimburses the district part of that.” According to San Dieguito’s current teachers contract, Article 13.01-E states that the San Dieguito Faculty Association shall reimburse the district one-sixth of the total compensation twice a year. But Norton said there is no reimbursement. Nor does the union reimburse the district for the cost of hiring a substitute teacher to teach Croft’s classes, which has cost the district over $124,000 since 2010. Election campaign Two years ago, SDUHSD board member John Salazar wrote to then-superintendent Rick Schmitt, saying, “Stop the insanity and have the union head (Bob Croft) either work as a teacher or have his salary 100% (including benefits) reimbursed to the district by the union. He uses taxpayer money (his salary) to influence campaigns and spread untruths about people (me).” The campaign the union waged against Salazar and fellow board member Mo Muir last year, to get board members Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer re-elected, was unlike anything the district has seen in decades. But Croft was simply doing what any other responsible union leader would do: work to elect school board members sympathetic to union causes. One might question the tactics, but they were ultimately successful in helping the two incumbents win re-election. When asked why orchestrate an attack against two board members who weren’t up for election, he said it would be dangerous if Muir and Salazar were joined on the board by an ally. Croft admitted that his approach during the campaign was more adversarial than is typical, although he said he prefers the term “more direct.” In many ways, Croft has been a cooperative partner with the district. For example, he agreed recently that tests and quizzes should be allowed to be sent home for parents to SEE SUTTON, A18

school districts to have this kind of agreement. Other districts Despite this claim, paying a full salary to a union president and relieving him or her from teaching responsibilities is actually quite uncommon at other local school districts. Said Terry Decker, superintendent of the K-6 Solana Beach School District, “The president of the teachers’ union is a full-time teacher. We do not provide office space.” Said Holly McClurg, superintendent of the K-6 Del Mar Union School District, “The lead of the teachers’ union teaches full time. He is not provided free office space.” Said David Jaffe, superintendent of the K-8 Rancho Santa Fe School District, “She is a full time teacher and has no office space.” Said Tim Baird, superintendent of the Encinitas Union School District, “Our union president is a full-time teacher. She does have some release days in our contract to conduct union business but she seldom uses them. She does not have office space for union business.” Even the larger school districts that serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade have no arrangement as generous as San Dieguito’s, which serves students in grades 7-12. From Rick Grove, an assistant superintendent of the Carlsbad Unified School District, “Our teachers union president teaches a 40% schedule. We do not provide office space to either labor union.” He added, “The teachers union reimburses the district for all costs associated with the temporary teacher hired to fill the resulting 60% vacancy.” At the Oceanside Unified School District, the contract states that the district “will pay 100 percent of the salary of the Association president.” But the next clause states that “annually after the year of service, the OTA [Oceanside Teachers Association] will

OUR READERS WRITE Giving thanks As the academic year comes to an end, I would like to thank the teachers and administrators in the Encinitas Union and San Dieguito Union school districts who took an extra effort to make the schools safer for students. It’s time to thank students and parents who reached out and helped someone who needed the extra support. In the last few weeks, many of us have renewed our subscriptions to newspapers that have racked up nationwide popularity through their investigative reporting. At the local level, I strongly feel that we need to

thank our local journalists who have continued to work hard to decode issues related to our schools. I rely on our local education reporter, Karen Billing, for providing an excellent summary of the educational issues that are most relevant to parents and concerned residents. Initially, I used to rely on the minutes of the SDUHSD board meetings. However, after I had read how my urgent and detailed request to improve the data analysis of the Healthy Kids Survey was described in the board minutes, I grew more attached to the Encinitas Advocate for education-related news. As a researcher, I admire investigative

journalists. As for our district, Marsha Sutton, has made a mark. She pursues a topic with great tenacity even when she is aware that some will be very unhappy with her findings. Marsha works hard to seek the truth through research and analysis and keeps unraveling information that takes us by surprise. She is a great role model for aspiring investigative journalists, particularly for young women. Marsha is also shaping education activists who will make Equity in Education a reality in the North County Coastal schools. Have a great summer and be safe. Sheila Mitra Sarkar, Encinitas

RSF Fire District homeowners San Diego Women’s Foundation to hold 17th Annual Grants Celebration to receive SRA Fee bills The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District homeowners, along with all other state homeowners residing within State Responsibility Areas (SRA) should be receiving their annual SRA Fee bills. In early 2011, the California Legislature adopted legislation that required the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (BOF) to develop and implement a program to assess a fire prevention fee on homeowners within the SRA. In November 2011 the BOF voted to adopt regulations to implement the fee mandated by the Legislature. The mandatory annual fee on habitable structures based on the County Assessor rolls or as recorded on the records of the California Department of Housing and Community Development, will go to help fund prevention activities on SRA lands. A credit will be given to those who live on SRA lands but pay for fire protection from a second agency, such as the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD). There have been attempts to overturn it, but thus far they have proven unsuccessful. The Board of Equalization is now sending out the notices for this year’s billing cycle. The SRA bill, which will be separate from a resident’s property tax bill and is collected by the State of California, will be used for fire prevention services and programs provided by the state. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District does not receive any of the fee nor

have control as to how it is used. According to Cal Fire’s website, this may include “brush clearance around communities on public lands, along roadways and evacuation routes; and activities to improve forest health so the forest can better withstand wildfire.” Most of the communities covered by the RSFFPD, including The Covenant, Fairbanks Ranch, Cielo, The Crosby, The Lakes, The Bridges, Elfin Forest, and Del Dios, are on SRA lands, while most of 4S Ranch is not on SRA lands. The decision to assess the SRA fee was not an immediate one. In 2004, SB 1049, was enacted and imposed an annual fee, to be collected on the county level to fund fire prevention activities, on all parcels of land located within SRAs. However, before any money was collected, the fee was repealed by SB 1112. The fee was revisited during the 2007-2008 budget process at the suggestion of the Legislative Analyst Office (LAO) as a means of recovering costs for services provided to private beneficiaries and the BOF voted in favor of the fee during their November 2011 meeting. CAL FIRE has developed a web site with information about the SRA fee. The site includes a number of helpful links, as well as the phone number to the SRA Fee Implementation Center. The web site can be accessed at www.firepreventionfee.org. ---Submitted press release

The San Diego Women’s Foundation (SDWF) will hold its 17th Annual Grants Celebration on June 1, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the USD Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, located at 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA 92110. The Grants Celebration is open to the community and tickets are priced at $35. Parking is available on campus with free shuttles. The evening will honor the new 2017 grants recipients, highlight the successes sparked by last year’s grants in the area of developing employment readiness and celebrate $3.2 million total granting into the San Diego region since SDWF’s inception in 2000. In addition, guests will hear from featured speaker, State Assembly Member Todd Gloria,

and will enjoy a performance by singers from Voices of Our City Choir, whose members are personally affected by homelessness. The non-profit organizations selected through a thorough vetting process and a final vote by all 215 SDWF members are: •Just in Time for Foster Youth: Basic Needs / My First Home • Promises2Kids: Foster Youth Self-Sufficiency – Addressing Risk Factors for Homelessness • San Diego LGBT Community Center: Youth Services Program • Think Dignity: Homeless Youth Legal Advocacy Project •Voices for Children: Transitional-Age Teens and Homelessness Prevention Visit sdwomensfoundation.org.

FROM SUTTON, A14

KAREN BILLING

The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe has joined Tribute Portfolio Marriott International but will remain independent. FROM INN, A1 community,” said Julius Robinson, vice president of Tribute Portfolio in a release. The original La Morada (The Inn) opened back in 1923 and current owner JMI Realty is only the third owner in its long history. When JMI purchased The Inn in 2012, it launched a $12 million upgrade that included a complete renovation of the guest rooms, restaurant, main lobby, entrance area and pool deck, and added the day spa. The Inn recently went through more “significant” improvements of the property, Strack said all of the buildings were re-painted and outfitted with an improved security system. Within the next two months, the restaurant Morada will again be getting a new look. The refresh will bring the restaurant back to the Ranch’s roots with a more equestrian feel, shades of blue and provide a more intimate setting with new booth seating. New Executive Chef Casey Thompson of “Top Chef” fame, who joined The Inn late last year, has also infused the menu with new tastes while keeping some of the traditional Inn favorites. Toward the end of the year, The Inn will also renovate its 21 Garden Cottages, built in 2003 and not touched by the renovations of 2012. Strack

expects the Garden Cottages’ renovations to be complete by early 2018. The Inn is gearing up to host Thrive in the Ranch events throughout the summer on the lawn, including a movie under the stars on June 2 and Pizza Picnics on the last Wednesday of every month June through August “We’re more than happy to partner with Thrive in the Ranch, the first event in March was a success,” said Strack of the first Pizza Picnic. “We want to continue the community atmosphere of the Village Vibe.” Starting in July, The Inn will also be the site of one of the Breeders’ Cup Painted Ponies, more than 20 full-sized fiberglass horse sculptures painted by local artists that will be distributed throughout the San Diego area. The horses are reproductions of the Torrie Horse used on the Breeders’ Cup trophies and will be auctioned off for charity. “The Breeders’ Cup coming to Del Mar is going to bring huge cachet to the area,” Strack said of the Nov. 3-4 event. The Inn owns a total of 35 buildings in the Rancho Santa Fe village, collectively known as The Residences at The Inn, and the residences in the various pods have historically been available for rent. Currently, the residential pod known

FROM WATER, A1 The proposed budget for fiscal year 2017-18 calls for adding $3.2 million to the district’s reserves, according to a staff report. The district’s proposed operating budget for the year is $26 million, with $2.84 million planned for capital expenses. Board member David Petree said he was taken aback by the proposed rate hike. “I’ve got to tell you, I found that hard to swallow,” Petree said, suggesting that the district might consider spreading the reserve contributions over several years to reduce pressure on rates. “That kind of double-digit increase is not going to be viewed very favorably.” Director Augie Daddi said rates are the No.1 issue in the district, which provides water to Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and

as The Grove is up for sale, listed at $4.7 million. The parcel, located on the southwest edge of the property along La Gracia, currently consists of two buildings representing three dwelling units. JMI Realty has developed potential projects for each of the residential pods they own, designing distinct new housing products for the village such as step-down housing. Its plans for The Grove included creating five dwelling units, with four new and one existing building. Due to some confusion in the submittal and approval process in 2014, last year the Rancho Santa Fe Association board recreated the submittal process for condo subdivisions for The Grove and La Gracia Village after it was discovered that the review of the project had not been processed as the Association’s documents require. Both were approved but as the changes to the parcels would require Covenant modifications and approval from two-thirds of the neighbors, JMI chose not to proceed at that time. “It has always been JMI Realty’s intent to sell the residences with the intent of keeping and expanding the linkage between the hotel and residential components by offering hotel services and amenities to our residents,” Strack said.

Fairbanks Ranch. “Although I understand the capital issue, we need to pay attention to rates. That’s what our customers are telling us,” Daddi said. Other directors stressed the importance of maintaining the district’s water pipes, pumping stations and other infrastructure, and said that customers are concerned about those issues as well. Director Ken Dunford said the alternative to putting cash aside for capital improvements is to borrow money, which comes with an expensive price tag for interest. According to the staff report, the district did not contribute to its capital improvement reserve fund for the past two years. In recent years, the district suffered losses in revenue due to state-imposed mandatory

review with their children, against the wishes of some teachers. SDUHSD’s Norton praised Croft, calling him “fair and collaborative” and said he is “great to work with.” She said she regularly contacts him on district issues, and “might call him four times a day.” Unions, to be clear, are all about protecting the interests of teachers. Student interests sometimes, but not always, intersect. Croft has been a good union leader for San Dieguito’s teachers. He has done exactly what union leaders are supposed to do: represent teachers well. Big raises came through, and he saw to it that union allies on the school board were re-elected. But it’s those perks that the district has historically provided that make San Dieguito’s relationship with its union unique. A new day is approaching. As the union leadership torch gets passed, the district has an opportunity to re-assess how it plans to do business with the new president. It will be interesting to see if SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill will choose to break with tradition and scale back its generous union president’s benefits – or to continue past practices. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM WRITERS, A5 would-be writers of both: “The setting is of utmost importance.” He said he loved creating different castles and clans just to his liking. “One of the things I explore in my writing is the issue of ‘power,’ ” he said. “The quest for power occurs throughout our daily lives with people in all walks of life and in all situations fighting over the tiniest scraps of power. People everywhere want to tell others what to do, but do not want to be told what to do.” Martin said he is also interested in the age-old question of good versus evil. “Nothing nor nobody is all good or all bad. We are a mixture. Sometimes we do good things and sometimes we do bad things. There is always a choice to be made,” he argued. “Science fiction and fantasy, owing in large part to their ability to tell a good story, have conquered the world, taking over television and becoming a major genre of literature of significant stature that should be investigated by all.” After the presentation, the line to buy Martin’s and Robinson’s books numbered beyond 100 people. Amber Atizado, who was at the lecture with her mother and brother, bought all nine of Martin’s books, spending $387! “I have been saving up to buy these books tonight and I bought an extra book for my brother,” she said with a smile. “I’m going to add these books to my collection. I bought them because I love a good story.”

cutbacks in water use, as well as less rainfall to provide cheaper local water. Also, the district did not raise rates for a three-year period immediately preceding the latest rate increases. SFID’s board of directors will revisit the proposed 2018 rate increase later in the year, before the hike takes effect. Board president Michael Hogan recommended that before that discussion, the board also discuss its reserve fund policy. Also at Thursday’s meeting, the board received a report on a 4 percent rate increase for recycled water imposed by its supplier, the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, which will take effect July 1. SFID will pass along the increase to its recycled water customers. Recycled water receives less treatment than potable, or drinking, water, and can be used for such

purposes as landscape irrigation. It is carried in a separate water system with purple pipes. Recycled water accounts for only a fraction of the water sold by SFID. The district’s 55 recycled water customers include Caltrans, which irrigates freeway median landscaping, as well as San Dieguito County Park and local homeowners associations. For the coming year, the district expects to sell 9,000-acre-feet of potable water and 450-acre-feet of recycled water, said the staff report. This represents an 8 percent increase in customer demand, but the total is still lower than pre-drought demand. An acre-foot is equal to 326,000 gallons, and an average California household uses between one-half and a full-acre-foot of water per year for both indoor and outdoor use, according to the nonprofit Water Education Foundation.

CCA student chosen for USA Biology Olympiad Finals Most high school students are grateful that summer vacation has arrived. But for Allen Huang of Canyon Crest Academy, the most important classes are just beginning. Huang has been chosen as one of the top 20 high school biology students in the U.S. by The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE), and will travel this week to the 15th Annual USA Biology Olympiad (USABO) National Finals in metro Washington DC. Finalists will meet May 28 to June 9 for 10 days of intensive biology instruction—including high-level laboratory training and concepts. Those activities will be followed by two days of testing to determine the USABO’s ‘Dream Team’—the four students who will represent the United States as Team USA at the International Biology Olympiad (IBO) from July 23-30 in Coventry, United Kingdom.

“CEE is proud to work with Marymount University to train the USABO National Finalists in practical and theoretical biology,” said Joann DiGennaro, president of CEE. “These students are some of the highest achieving biology students from this country, and it is exciting to prepare them for the international competition in the United Kingdom.” Nearly 10,000 talented students from across the country registered for the USABO, according to Kathy Frame, CEE director of USABO and Special Projects. The 20 finalists—representing nine states—were selected based on their scores from the USABO Open and Semifinal Exams. “The mission of the USABO is to encourage excellence in biology education throughout the United States and to challenge students and their teachers to reach the gold standard in biology,”

not only raises funds to provide state of the art technology and cutting edge programs to promote personal social growth, leadership and independence for all Torrey Pines High School students, but also acts as the umbrella organization for parent volunteers and provides support for many booster groups on campus.

said Frame. “USABO Finalists will each work diligently to become the best in the U.S. and to continue the United States’ success at the IBO this July.” The International Biology Olympiad (IBO) is an annual event where students from all over the world compete on their knowledge of biology. The participants are pre-university students, ages 14 to 19. To take part in the IBO, students must place in the top four of the National Biology Olympiad in their individual countries. While at Marymount, USABO finalists will participate in intensive theoretical and practical tutorials, and will study with leading U.S. biologists who are experts in the fields of cellular and molecular biology, plant anatomy and physiology, animal anatomy and physiology, genetics and evolution, ecology, ethology, and biosystematics. This is the second year that Marymount will host the USABO finals with CEE in Arlington, Va. Visit www.ibo2017.org and www.cee.org

Mainly Mozart opens festival season with ‘The Work at Hand’ BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Mainly Mozart, now beginning its 29th season, has a lot going on in June. Their theme this year, as part of a six-year exploration of Mozart’s life, is “Beauty through Adversity,” and one of the highlights is “The Work at Hand,” a song cycle by composer Jake Heggie set to poems by Laura Morefield, daughter of local poet/arts writer Charlene Baldridge. It will be featured in a pair of concerts in Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla June 2 and 3. Morefield, who died of colon cancer in 2011, chronicled her dying — or more accurately, her living process — right up to the end. Like her mother, she was a former banker-turned-poet; Heggie, best known for his operas, is also a prolific composer of art songs, and had previously set several of her mother’s poems to music. Morefield met him, saw two of his operas, and shortly before she died, sent him her 10 favorite poems. When Carnegie Hall and the Pittsburgh Symphony commissioned a piece from him, he decided to do one that featured her passionate and touching poetry, which he called “shatteringly beautiful.” It would be a concerto for soprano, cello and orchestra. A chamber version of “The Work at Hand” premiered at Carnegie Hall in February, 2015. That May, it went on to Pittsburgh, where it was conducted, with full orchestra, by Mainly Mozart’s maestro, Michael Francis. Here, as the centerpiece of two different programs, it will be performed with violin, cello and piano at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla,

Mezzo-soprano Deborah Nansteel will sing ‘The Work at Hand,’ with music by Jake Heggie and words by Laura Morefield, in a pair of concerts opening this year’s Mainly Mozart Festival. as part of the Spotlight chamber music series. Morefield’s words will be sung by young mezzo-soprano Deborah Nansteel, who, later this month, in Newfoundland, will sing the role of Sister Helen Prejean in Heggie’s opera “Dead Man Walking.” According to Mainly Mozart’s executive director Nancy Laturno Bojanic, this is the first time the same piece will be heard in two Spotlight concerts. “In the Spotlight series, all the programs are always completely different,” she said. “But patrons at both

venues really wanted to do ‘The Work at Hand,’ since it’s such an important piece and so tied in with this year’s theme of Beauty through Adversity.” Many other interesting events are featured in Mainly Mozart’s Festival calendar, including a free “San Diego Makes Music” concert at Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park June 11 and a very special evening June 9, “Celebrating Genius in the Spirit of Mozart,” at the La Jolla home of famed Scripps Institution

County fair will revive San Diego’s ‘Wild West’ roots

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Giddyup, cowpokes: it’s about time to saddle up for the annual stampede that is the San Diego County Fair. This year’s fair opens June 2 and stretches for its customary 26 days, bringing more than a million visitors to the largest event in San Diego County — and one of the five largest fairs in the country. The “Where the West is Fun” theme will harken back to the 1880s, blending historical perspective with pop culture romanticism. “Get ready for 26 days of rootin’ tootin’ stampeding fun!” said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the fairgrounds. “From June 2 through July 4, we’ll be hollering and a-howling from dawn until well after the cows have gone home.” In keeping with the theme, the fair will feature a frontier-era town, replete with a replica saloon, as well as several exhibits from local Native American tribes. Hoping to surpass last year’s bar of all-time high 1.6 million visitors, fair organizers have rolled out a new website, augmented their social media presence and even developed an app that for the first time will let visitors coordinate tickets and travel. All 26 days can be had for only $26, with a spattering of free-entry days. On opening day, members of the military and their families get in free. Entry will be free again on June 8 by bringing clothes between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to

And on June 27, children 12 years old and younger get in without charge. As always, the fair is stocked with festivals within festivals. And there’s plenty on tap. including: •The Toast of the Coast wine festival on June 10, with hundreds of vintages on hand for sampling and purchase. •The San Diego International Beer

Festival — hailed as one of the country’s top beer festivals — will take over the Del Mar Arena from June 16 to 18. For those with a taste for the harder stuff, June 24 brings the San Diego Spirit & Cocktail Festival, with 100 handcrafted spirits available for tasting. Another new twist: a speakeasy hidden away somewhere on the fairgrounds. Patrons at any of the fair’s bars can ask

Mingei International Museum eyes Breeders’ Cup with equestrian exhibit FROM MINGEI REPORTS An original exhibition of objects that celebrate the nobility, speed, power and serviceability of horses, bullocks (steer) and camels from across the globe is up at Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park through Nov. 12. “TRAPPINGS: Homage to the Horse and other Steeds,” is timed with this year’s Del Mar Thoroughbred Club race season and the first ever Breeders’ Cup event in November at the Del Mar track. Pulled from the Museum’s permanent collection and private lenders, this Pair of stirrups, circa 1800, China, brass enamel original exhibition will highlight classic horse figures and accoutrement of Asia and Europe; clay and wood horses of India; and artifacts of U.S., Native American and Mexican horse culture. Trappings for bullocks from Afghanistan to Indonesia, and camel trappings from Asia to the Middle East will also be shown, including a group of Iranian saddlebags. San Diego hosted the equestrian events of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, during which time Mingei presented “The Horse in Fold Art.” This new exhibit will provide another experience through which to appreciate the beauty and nobility of fascinating creatures profoundly connected to the daily and festival rounds of human communities. Also on view (through Oct. 8) is the Mingei exhibit “KANBAN: Traditional Shop Signs of Japan.” It provides a tantalizing look at this fusion of art, design and commerce with Japanese shop signs in a variety of lively forms and mediums. The Kanban, alongside archival photographs and actual shop goods, provide a rare opportunity to imagine walking and shopping through a market of “old Japan.”

New Dances, New Music

Bi-coastal collaboration coming to Lyceum Theatre

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Here’s one way to chase away June gloom — an exciting program of dance and live music that will start off the month with a burst of joyful creativity. It’s a three-way collaboration, joining the forces of Malashock Dance, Art of Élan, and the New York-based NOW Ensemble, a dynamic group dedicated to making chamber music for the 21st century, which is currently Art of Élan’s ensemble-in-residence. They’ll banish your gray-weather blues with “Minor Fall/Major Lift,” a line you may recognize from Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” June 1-3, at the Lyceum Theatre. If you’re a dance aficionado, you’re surely familiar with the work of award-winning choreographer John Malashock (a La Jolla High alumnus) and his almost-30-year old company. They love partnering and pushing artistic boundaries, which made them a great match for Art of Élan in their previous collaboration at La Jolla Playhouse in 2014. Art of Élan, now in its 10th season, is devoted to turning audiences on to new kinds of music they’ve never heard before. This time, they’re showcasing works by five contemporary

Justin Viernes, Andrea Rehm and Lara Segura are three of the 10 Malashock dancers who will be onstage in ‘Minor Fall/Major Lift,’ June 1-3, at the Lyceum Theatre. composers, including a newly-commissioned score by NOW’s composer-in-residence, Judd Greenstein. Art of Élan co-founder/executive director/violinist Kate Hatmaker will be sitting in onstage as “Guest Musician” and the NOW Ensemble — flute, clarinet, electric guitar,

double bass and piano — will provide the live soundtrack for Malashock’s dancers. The theme of the program is Change, and Greenstein’s commissioned piece, “The Jewish Pope,” was inspired by a (probably apocryphal) life of changes. It’s the tale of a young Jewish boy, taken

from his family and raised as a Catholic, who rises to the highest position in the Church but ultimately decides to return to his own people. “When Judd and I started talking about creating a new piece, we decided we wanted to delve into our Jewish backgrounds in some

way,” John Malashock said. “Judd found this folk legend, and his music has an ethnic feel to it, and kind of travels the journey from ghetto to Rome. I’m using the characters and the story in my choreography.” “The Jewish Pope” is the final piece in the program, and Greenstein also composed the opener. “It’s called ‘Change,’ and it’s completely different — so exuberant, with such a wonderful sense of build and personality,” Malashock said. “In fact, I’m almost shocked at how different all the pieces feel from each other, though each one is fresh and incredibly appealing. It’s great for me as a choreographer to have that much of a range.” The program’s title isn’t specifically a homage to Leonard Cohen, Malashock noted. “I just thought ‘minor fall, major lift’ is a reference to both music and dance and has a nice poetic feel.”

■ IF YOU GO: “Minor Fall/Major Lift,” 8 p.m. June 1 and 2; 4 and 8:45 p.m. June 3 at Lyceum Theater, Horton Plaza. VIP reception follows 4 p.m. performance on June 3. Tickets: $15-$45. (619) 544-1000. lyceumevents.org

Serving Seniors - 'Experience of a Lifetime: Uncork Your Support' raises funds for seniors in need The fifth annual Serving Seniors - “Experience of a Lifetime: Uncork Your Support” took place April 27 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe and raised $450,000 equating to 180,000 meals for vulnerable seniors. The event was attended by over 300 people. The support makes it possible for Serving Seniors to provide 2,300 nutritious meals daily at 10 dining sites and to home-bound seniors throughout San Diego County. The theme for this year’s Experience of a Lifetime fundraiser was “Uncork Your Support” and featured a wine reception with tastings from premier wineries across California. For the

evening’s dining, Del Mar Country Club Executive Chef Jonathan Sudar created an exclusive menu with fine wine pairings inspired by local California cuisine. Eighty-five percent of Serving Seniors’ clients live in poverty on an average of $850 per month. The agency sees that these seniors need to often choose between medication and their next meal. Serving Seniors’ nutrition program addresses hunger and food insecurity, and is one of the agency’s core programs that meet the highly specialized needs of thousands of low-income seniors in San Diego County.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Alyson Goudy, wife of the late Dr. George Goudy, passed away at her home surrounded by her children on April 2, 2017. She is survived by her daughter, Thiere Goudy; daughter and son-in-law, Paige and Wil Spink; son and daughter-in-law, Blaise and Molly Goudy; as well as five grandchildren. Born in San Diego, Alyson grew up between La Jolla and Gadsden, Alabama. She was a graduate of the University of Arizona, Pi Beta Phi chapter president, and an honorary alumni of Washington State University. Alyson was always involved in contributing to her local community wherever she lived. She brought a sense of

elegance and creativity along with her passion to serve. She served on the boards of Country Friends, UCSD Friends of the Library, Stanford Museum, Junior League, National Charity League and WSU Foundation. Her tenure on the board of Country Friends spanned over 20 years. Alyson was

recognized as a Woman of Distinction by the Salvation Army in 1988. Her creativity extended into every facet of life Alyson dove into. She was a savant in the kitchen, cooking ‘by the seat of her pants’. She brought southern elegance to what would later be known as fusion cooking. She had a unique ability to dive into the cupboards and create a world class meal without looking at a single recipe. Later in her life Alyson followed her father Louis J Rice Jr’s passion in the financial markets, primarily stocks, researching companies to invest in, and sharing her ideas with her children and her Blue Chip Broads investment club. Wednesday Club, Country Friends fashion shows,

Sundays in the Park fundraisers, gardening, travel and many other activities filled her days. Never without a project or endeavor, Alyson began fly fishing and golfing after her husband George passed away, even landing large steelhead on the Klamath River. Alyson’s life will be celebrated with a service at 10:00am on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at St Peters Episcopal Church in Del Mar. In lieu of flowers, Alyson requested donations in her honor to The Country Friends, PO Box 142, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

2017 San Diego Festival of the Arts to be held June 10-11 RSF resident among artists participating in the event Leading international artists from multiple visual arts categories will return to San Diego’s downtown Waterfront Park for the 2017 San Diego Festival of the Arts. Thanks to the event’s overwhelming success at the new downtown location last year after 29 years in La Jolla, the 2017 festival will welcome nearly 200 artists in this highly competitive, juried festival. The prestigious Arts Fair Source Book recently ranked the San Diego Festival of the Arts as one of the top 100 art fairs in the nation. The 2017 San Diego Festival of the Arts (www.sdfestivalofthearts.org) will be held at Waterfront Park in downtown San Diego on June 10 -11. Boasting interactive fountains, intimate gardens, harbor views and excellent access to public transit, Waterfront Park has emerged as a quintessential destination for residents and visitors alike. Presented by the Torrey Pines Kiwanis Foundation, the 2017 San Diego Festival of the Arts will once again be the venue’s premier arts event of the year. Rancho Santa Fe resident Susan Horvitz will be among the artists displaying her work at the event. Horvitz has been designing jewelry for over 30 years and for 2017 she is focusing on an art-deco steam punk look. A portion of her proceeds go to “Operation Game On,” whose mission is to help men and women injured while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lynch Foundation for Children holds fundraising gala to combat San Diego’s child sex trafficking epidemic Hundreds of San Diego’s most prominent business, political and philanthropic leaders gathered together on May 11 at The Abbey in downtown San Diego to raise funds and awareness to fight child sex trafficking through the Lynch Foundation for Children, which was founded by longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident Bill Lynch. The event was sponsored by Sycuan and Hornblower Cruises and Events, and was emceed by Lee Ann Kim, former Channel 10 news anchor and founder of the Pacific Arts Movement. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Chief Deputy District Attorney Summer Stephan served as Honorary Chairs of the evening and were joined by Senator Toni Atkins, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, Assemblymember Brian Maienschein, Sheriff Bill Gore, San Diego City Councilmember Lorie Zapf, San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott, San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond and many other respected dignitaries across the region all working to fight this growing crisis. The evening included live and silent auctions, a video presentation of The Lynch Project, and a special performance from Point Loma Nazarene University’s kNOw MORE. Also, in attendance were several sex trafficking survivors and their families, many of whom have dedicated their lives to helping others victimized by the sex trafficking business. “We are honored to have sponsored the

William "Bill" Lynch with child sex trafficking survivors and survivors' families and supporters. first-ever Lynch Foundation for Children event as preventing child sex trafficking is a cause of utmost importance and the collaborative work the Foundation does with the national and local law enforcement, and various groups is one to recognize and be proud of,” said Cody J. Martinez, tribal chairman to the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. A record amount was raised to aid the Lynch Foundation’s efforts to fight child sex trafficking through a three-pronged prevention approach. This includes (1) education programs via kNOw MORE and PROTECT, (2) legislative reform via the Children’s Advocacy Institute at the University of San Diego, and (3) assisting in

locating runaway children via Saved in America. According to a study released last year by the University of San Diego and Point Loma Nazarene University, the sex trafficking industry has grown to become an $810 million a year industry in San Diego County. There are over 8,000 victims/survivors per year, and 16 is the average age of entry into child commercial sexual exploitation. Though all 20 of the San Diego County high schools studied reported recruitment was occurring in their schools, California curriculum hardly touches on the topic.

The San Diego Parkinson’s Association provides services and referrals for the 60,000 people afflicted with this disease in San Diego County right now. Walk Chairman Dr. Wayne Label commented, “If we had shut down operations we would be one of the few cities in the United States without a Parkinson’s Association.” The purpose of this walk is to raise money for the upcoming year’s operations with a slimmed down staff and a large group of volunteers. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals will Partner with the Parkinson’s Association, and be the Title sponsor for the Wal. Register for the event at: parkinsonsassociation.org.

Gwynn Thomas, Doreen Schonbrun, Sally Oxley and Sue Kalish FROM FAIR, B3 bacon-wrapped chicken legs and an Italian meatball slathered in peanut butter and sweet batter, then deep-fried and drizzled with peanut sauce. But by far their biggest draw was a caloric monstrosity the likes of which has never been seen. Charlie Boghosian and crew conjured up a fried chicken patty topped with a two-inch-thick puck of Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream, nestled betwixt a splayed-open Krispy Kreme donut, all of it drizzled in syrup, topped with Fruity Pebbles and dusted with a puff of powdered sugar. The “sandwich” — if it can even be called that — is the latest evolution of Chicken Charlie’s signature creation, the Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich that brought Boghosian widespread acclaim 12 years ago. With more than 30 county fairs under his belt, Boghosian was pondering a few weeks ago how he could possibly raise the culinary bar yet again, and he teemed with pride as he handed over the plate. “When I first took a bite — the very, very first time I had ice cream and chicken in the same bite — my mind stopped working,” he said. “Two or three seconds later I thought ‘What did I just eat, it’s amazing, I can’t wait for everyone to try it.’” If music is more your bag, this year’s headline acts in the Toyota Summer

The Center, founded in 1887, is San Diego’s oldest children’s nonprofit organization, offering comprehensive accredited therapeutic and educational programs for children and teens struggling with mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. Visit www.centerforchildren.org Concert Series include Toby Keith, Patti LaBelle, Darius Rucker, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Leann Rimes, Switchfoot, Grand Funk Railroad and Collective Soul. On the comedy side, catch Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, on June 27 and Jeff Foxworthy on July 1. And lest there be misgivings that the fair is all booze and bands, fair organizers played up the tried and true classics that fairgoers have come to count on. Top billing goes to 4H, the Future Farmers of America and the junior livestock auction, the fine art and photography exhibit, the ever-popular flower and garden show, and the exhibit California Grown, which will put on display how agriculture has evolved into its modern forms. “It is a wonderful tradition that reminds us of our agricultural roots as we become a more urban environment,” Schenk said. All of it culminates with a patriotic blowout celebration. “On the Fourth of July, we plan to celebrate in grand fashion,” Fennell said, with a parade into the grandstand for a show that will include a World Trade Center first responder and the oldest living survivor of Pearl Harbor, “followed by the best fireworks in San Diego.” The fair is closed on the first four Mondays (June 5, 12, 19 and 26) and the first three Tuesdays (June 6, 13 and 20).

The Greatest Generation again takes to the air BY SEBASTIAN MONTES he details can be slow to take shape, unfurling in a halting flow, faded by the steady drain of the seven decades since he last took flight. Capt. Alan Carlton faced a visage familiar but a lifetime removed as he stared down the B-24 bomber parked recently at Ramona airfield, a meticulously restored facsimile of the planes he piloted time and again into the heart of Nazi Germany. Carlton, 98, swapped stories with two other veterans as they sat in the shadow of the Second World War’s other great American bomber, the B-17, waiting to take flight as the Wings of Freedom tour moved its fleet of four restored WWII planes to Carlsbad. Stories of the fateful flight in 1944 — the 15th and final bombing run he’d get credit for — shot out of the sky by German fighter planes. Of his tail-gunner and a waist-gunner wiped out by the barrage of bullets. Of the men sniped from the sky as they parachuted down. Of the depravity he endured in a German prison camp, food so scarce that captive and captor alike had wasted away by the time Russian troops liberated them more than a year later. And of the horrors the Red Army savaged upon the villagers there.

T

Alan Carlton (second from left) with members of his family. He paused only briefly to acknowledge the quiet, conflicted anguish. “I’ll probably never forget it,” he recalled. “But you never like to think about the guys you lost.” His children were mostly spared those stories as they grew up,

unaware for half a century of how heavy a burden he bore, silently, for the men in his crew who didn’t make it. Those details only started coming out during a trip back in Germany in 1995, a reunion with what remained of his brothers in arms.

SEBASTIAN MONTES

“It took him 50 years to start downloading what happened,” said his daughter Jan. He bore that burden in peace last week, for a few fleeting moments replaced by the simple joy of taking to the air again. “I just love to fly,” he said after

landing, embraced by the hero’s welcome that awaited in Carlsbad. His children and grandchildren met him on landing, along with a vanload of fellow residents at Brookdale Senior Living in Carmel Valley, proudly waving Old Glory, the older among them awash in their memories of triumphant returns home after the defeat of the greatest evil the modern world has ever known. The May 4 event was one of 100 stops that the Wings of Freedom tour will make this year as it hops from airport to the delight of aviation aficionados. The Collings Foundation funds their tour by selling rides to the public at each stop. Their four-plane fleet also includes a B-25 Mitchell and the P-51 Mustang, revered in aviation lore as “the Cadillac of the sky.” The Collings Foundation’s B-24 — found in India years after the war and rechristened as “Witchcraft” — is said to be the only fully restored B-24 in existence. After a stop in Riverside on May 10, Wings of Freedom heads to Santa Ana until May 14. Learn more about the tour at www.collingsfoundation.org.

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13. The San Diego Historical Resources Board is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263 sdveininstitute.com

are inte interested sted in i restoring st in or preserving in a historic hist ic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a significant alteration, or demolition, to a building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties. Restoring a house means returning the appearance of

interior off th the st structure both the exterior xt io andd interi ct to the time tim period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally have indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood floor in hard-to-find pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home. Rehabilitating an historic house means making it functional and livable for contemporary life, while maintaining its important historic and architectural features. Often, rehabilitated homes will have all the modern conveniences of updated plumbing and electrical systems, a modern kitchen, and other potential upgrades. However, in all cases you should be sure to take care to minimize the interference with the integrity of the historic quality of the home. This may also, of course, include removing any previous additions that were poorly designed or executed, or have compromised the integrity of the historic home. Whatever you do, make sure you have a solid plan in

place wh when restoring pl tori or rehabilitating habilitati your historic hist ic property, just as you would with any build or remodel project. Know your team and make sure the contractor and tradespeople are communicating. A plumber may need to cut a hole in plaster to access a pipe, but a carpenter may be necessary to do that part of the work to maintain the historic integrity. Any potential environmental hazards in a historic property should be handled with caution. Many older homes in La Jolla contain asbestos and lead paint, and you don’t want to expose workers or occupants to these elements unprotected. Try not to install new windows in your home if the old windows have an historic quality. Often, heat retention can be boosted with glazing, crafty carpentry, or strategic weatherstripping. On average only 10 percent of a home’s heat loss occurs through windows, so there may well be more effective ways to handle this heat loss and preserve what might be an important feature of the historic home. Finally, make sure you document existing conditions and each part of the restoration or rehabilitation process, especially with a digital file to help further preserve the historic home’s ongoing history.

The McNally Company Antiques holding Estate Sale May 26-27 The McNally Company Antiques is holding a two-day Estate Sale for their dear friends Christian and Cecily Castenskiold. Chris, as he is known, is the grandson of King Frederick VIII and Queen Louise of Denmark. He is the son of HRH Princess Dagmar and Master of the Royal Hunt Jørgen Castenskiold. In April 1992 Chris was honored with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. The Estate Sale will be held Friday, May 26 and Saturday, May 27 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at 3933 Via Valle Verde, Rancho Santa Fe (Whispering Palms). Available at the Estate Sale will be antiques, furnishings, paintings, sterling silver, many Royal Copenhagen plates and memorabilia, bronzes, Sevres French clocks, designer

clothing, gentleman's formal attire, fine hats, and accessories, bric-a-brac, outdoor furniture, and much more. For more information and photographs go to www.estatesales.net and search via the zip code 92067. Chris and Cecily moved to Rancho Santa Fe in August of 1987 where they worked together and on Nov. 1, 1987 started two magazines, 619 Social Calendar and Ranch & Club, which they owned and operated until 1995. For 29 years, they could be seen in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe at social events, either visiting, walking or dining with friends. Rancho Santa Fe will certainly miss the touch of royalty that the Castenskiolds brought to the town as will the McNallys.
